United Methodist delegates have begun making historic policy changes on sexuality, voting without debate to reverse a series of anti-LGBTQ policies. The delegates voted to delete mandatory penalties for clergy conducting same-sex marriages. They also removed their denomination’s bans on considering LGBTQ candidates for ministry and on funding for gay-friendly ministries. The 667-54 vote removes scaffolding around the United Methodist Church’s longstanding bans on LGBTQ clergy and same-sex marriage. Still to come later this week are votes on the core of the bans. It follows the departure of one-quarter of U.S. congregations, mainly conservatives dismayed by progressive trends in the UMC.

The top United Nations court has rejected a request by Nicaragua to order Germany to halt military and other aid to Israel and renew funding to the U.N. aid agency in Gaza. The International Court of Justice said Tuesday that legal conditions for making such an order weren't met. Germany argued at hearings in the case that it has barely exported any weapons to Israel since the offensive against Gaza started following the deadly incursion into southern Israel by Hamas militants on Oct. 7.

Haiti’s newly installed transitional council has chosen a little known former sports minister as the Caribbean country’s prime minister, as it tries to establish a stable new government amid stifling violence. Fritz Bélizaire was chosen in a surprise move to replace current interim Prime Minister Michel Patrick Boisvert. Bélizaire gained the support of four of the seven voting members on the nine-member panel but with other panel members saying they were unfamiliar with him.  The council also planned to choose a Cabinet as it seeks to quell gang violence that is choking the capital, Port-au-Prince, and beyond. Heavy gunfire was reported in several of the capital’s neighborhoods during the council’s meeting.

A 14-year-old boy has been killed and four others have been injured by a man wielding a sword who attacked members of the public and police officers in a northeast London suburb. Police said that a 36-year-old man was arrested at the scene on suspicion of murder. Chief Supt. Stuart Bell said the violence wasn't being treated as terror-related or a “targeted attack.” Two police officers were hospitalized for stab wounds. Two other people were also injured. The Metropolitan Police said they were called early Tuesday to reports of a vehicle being driven into a house and people being stabbed close to the Hainault subway station.
